The question is not "did Rebel lose" The question is how well does Rebel perform I race my racecar, it blows an engine, I come last. Result: I came last Performance ability: No data provided I raced my car before, it didn't blow an engine Performance ability: seconds per lap, top speed, compared to other cars. Rebel has & is going to play lotsa games: To prove itself. To give Ed data on strenghts & weaknesses. To see how it performs on different platforms. etc When assessing a performance "rating", only bonafide games provide data.
